Ah good, glad to see more evidence they’re completely bought.

Exactly this. People that say we (already) had an oligarchy, well you haven’t seen anything yet.

But the Democrats voted for the changes too. So it looks like both sides caved to Musk’s demands.

Democrats voted for the government to stay functional. Fuck your both sides bullshit.

Both sides reached a bi-partisan agreement before Musk got involved. Then Trump went along with it. Neither of those two hold office but they killed the agreement. That doesn’t sound functional to me. Except for long-term issue (like the debt ceiling), I say: let the Republicans pay for their chaos. The Democrats went along with the chaos this time. Yeah some people will be hurt but isn’t that what the Republican want? Let them and we’ll see what happens.

Well, based on every time this has happened in the past, Republicans get lauded as prescient for their constant claims of “government doesn’t work” while Democrats get blamed for being ineffectual.

Why do think, this time, people will actually realize how much Republicans are just two-bit scam artists? Do you think the American people will have some sudden epiphany, despite decades of that never happening in this exact scenario?
